 ''I am satisfied that Hamilton has no show for appointment, and why Parish should be candidate, when both Governor Zulick and he have given me so much encouragement, is difficult to understand. If he does get away with it, let me say to you on the quiet, it will end the po litical career of two ambitious but very shallow politicians"
 Of course you knew you were ly- ing when you said that l had ever given you any encouragement in the matter. You seemed to have be- lieved that I held the ear of the Governor to the extent that l could make or mar the ambitions of any applicantt to office. In this you were mistaken, for seldom have Iknown who would receive executive ap- pointmen.s un:ii directed by the Governor lu iii out the commits sions nave never attempted to lin!i. i,;n ill these matters, for a .i,.i. i:e alone is responsible. If mistakes are made he must bear the censore.
 in truth, so far as you are con cerned, had there been any ne- ccssity to defeat your nomination to any official position, should have called attention of Governor Zulick to the fact that you had been appointed to the office of Attorney General of Arizona by Gov. Stafford and removed by him upon charges sustained in an examination held before him. The principal charge being that you conspired with an other party to black-mail the Lou zinsky Bros. out Of 5000 in con nection with a mining claim in, what is now, Graham county. To refresh your memory in this matter, I would advise you to read and print tie ailidavit$ connected there with, published in the Tucson Citi- Zen some twelve years ago.
 After ,his you became d Demo- crat, but for revenue only. III the Star, you have always kept your eve so constantly upon the "splin- ter" tiat had it not been for your ,ts-re. cataa assertion that you edited ,he ioad.ug Democratic pa per of the Territory, no one would have discorrrrl a taint of Democ- r;.r aj,us t came into the Tcrritor. : .iu.y, 1879, and shortly after H Il ' 1T acquaintance.
 In l63J, after endorsing plat form tavnring the Territorial tax on bullion, you accepted fee from the mining corporations to advocate the repeal of the law. In 1882 you proposed to place the name of the Republican nominee for Congress at the head of the columns of the Star for the insignificant sum of l$50O. You offered to do the same thing in 1884, if paid a considera- ton. During the canvass last fall you pulled down the County Demo- cratic ticket, and refused to hoist 1t until paid $750. After printing the tickets, for which you were well paid, you refused to surrender them until further contribution of $250 was paid you. You became inter- estcd in land grant scheme and then attempted to secure the ap- pointmcnt, first, of Surveyor Gen. eraI, anal li,cn oi Land Register of Ari.5 ,ijing in bath you have E. . misrrIh <;ntcd the na- t,tl..l administration: You de- .Hnsl"i money to reprint an arti- clc in defense of Governor Zulick's action in removing Directors Hatch, Lincoln and Stewart from the Asy- lum Board, and fuiling to get it you have attacked, on every conve- nient occasion, him and his admin istration.
 Your Idea of journalism is to levy blackmail upon all men and things where possible. False to every principle, recreant to every trust, you seem to have been placed by the Almighty upon this terres- trial sphere an illustration of all
